Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that do not relate to historical or current facts, but are “forward

looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These

statements relate to analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results and estimates

of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to future events or trends, our

future prospects and proposed new products, services, developments, or business strategies, among

other things. These statements can generally (although not always) be identified by their use of terms

and phrases such as anticipate, appear, believe, could, would, estimate, expect, indicate, intend, may,

plan, predict, project, pursue, will, continue, and other similar terms and phrases, as well as the use of

the future tense.

Examples of forward looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, the following

categories of expectations about:

• customer demand for our products and market prices;

• general economic conditions

• our reliance on a few customers for substantially all of our sales;

• the intensity of competition;

• our ability to collect outstanding receivables;

• the amount of liquidity available at reasonable rates or at all for ongoing capital needs;

• our ability to raise additional capital if necessary to execute our business plan;

• our ability to attract and retain management, and to integrate and maintain technical

information and management information systems;

• the outcome of legal proceedings affecting our business; and

• our insurance coverage being adequate to cover the potential risks and liabilities faced by our

business.

Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward looking statements.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward looking statements, are

subject to change and to inherent known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should not assume

at any point in the future that the forward looking statements in this report are still valid. We do not

intend, and undertake no obligation, to update our forward looking statements to reflect future events

or circumstances, except as required by law.

actual results may differ from those estimates.

Item 4: Management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The information herein contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of

historical fact made herein are forward-looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry

prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These

forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,”

“could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other

variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the

forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s

current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from

management’s expectations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial

statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results

discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will

necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the

best present assessment of our management.

General Overview

Coda Octopus Group, Inc., (“the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our Group”) has its headquarters in Lakeland,

Florida with operating subsidiaries and research and development facilities in USA, UK and Norway

respectively. The Group has subsea expertise and through its marine operations develops and

manufactures various subsea products including its patented technology the Echoscope® which is a real

time 3D sonar product. In addition, we have engineering operations (located in England and the USA),

which are suppliers to defense prime and sub-prime contractors and which also has subsea and marine

engineering experience which we leverage within the Group.

Recent Developments

Our Group has been the subject of restructuring since October 2009.

Since the Group moved its headquarters to New York in 2005 and became a public company trading on

the Pink Sheet in 2004 it had reported continuing and significant losses.

A new senior management and board were put in place in September 2009 to address the losses, other

historical problems of the Group and to ensure its continuity as a going concern. Since September 2009,

the focus and strategy of the new management has been to restructure the Group by (i) negotiating the

removal of certain barriers to new investments that were contained in a series of securities purchase

agreements; (ii) reducing the Group’s cost base significantly; (iii) simplifying the Group structure; (iv)

restructuring some of the Group’s debts; and (v) taking the business to sustainable growth and

profitability.

In respect of its cost reduction strategy, the new management focused initially on stripping out the costs

associated with having an extended New York administrative center (including the rent and salaries of

the then senior management that was based in New York). Closing the New York administrative center

resulted in approximately $1,200,000 per annum savings in salaries associated with our headquarters

operations. We have significantly reduced the number of headquarters employees and consultants and

have now co-located our headquarters with our US marine technology operational arm, Coda Octopus

Products, Inc., in Lakeland, Florida.

The Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of the Group have been gradually brought

down to a level which positions the Group’s operations to be viable and profitable. As we cautiously

increase sales and marketing staff and launch new products based on our patented technology, we

envisage SG&A of the Group will continue to be under $6,000,000 compared to:

Fiscal year – November 1 – October 31 SG&A Revenues SG&A /

Revenues

2007/08 (Audited) – Full Fiscal Year $13.2m $17.0m 78%

2008/09 (Audited) – Full Fiscal Year $11.2m $13.2m 85%

2009/10 (Unaudited) – Full Fiscal Year $7.7m $11.5m 67%

2010/11 (Unaudited) – Full Fiscal Year $5.3m $15.7m 34%

2011/12 (Unaudited) – Nine Months ended July 31, 2012 $3.5m $15.5m 23%

Initially the new management was faced with a Group which, besides SG&A approximating closely to

revenues, had (as at October 2009) Accumulated Payables and Accrued Expenses and Other Current

Liabilities of $7,016,203. This was made up of $4,626,164 of accrued expenses and other current

liabilities, which included provision for settlement of a number of disputes and other matters, and

$2,390,039 of payables. This figure was a threat to the Group’s continued existence and required us,

over the restructuring period to, amongst other things, consensually reschedule some of the Group’s

liabilities with its creditors, particularly in our wholly owned subsidiary Coda Octopus Martech Limited

(“Martech”) and to use most of the income generated in the course of business to satisfy these.

As of July 31, 2012 we have managed to reduce the $4,626,164 (of Accrued Expenses and Other Current

Liabilities) which was outstanding and shown on our balance sheet as at October 31, 2009 to

$1,128,614, a reduction of 76%, whilst the Accumulated Payables are at $2,065,546. This latter sum

includes an exceptional item of $204,000 to cover a tax liability in the UK and otherwise is at a level now

in line with the increased sales. As of July 31, 2012 the remaining items within our Accrued Expenses

and Other Current Liabilities comprise ordinary and current items such as employee accruals and

provision for taxes and other matters accrued during the ordinary course of our business.

A key achievement of our restructuring has been to reschedule in October 2010 certain liabilities of our

wholly owned subsidiary Coda Octopus Martech Limited. Under this arrangement $945,000 was

consensually rescheduled over a four year period. As of July 31, 2012, Martech has paid approximately

$455,000, thus reducing the balance outstanding under this arrangement to approximately $490,000.

Martech pays approximately $200,000 per year. As of the date of this report, Martech is current under

this arrangement, and will need to keep current to avoid adverse consequences.

Since February 21, 2008 our Balance Sheet also includes a $12 million convertible secured debt (“Debt”).

This Debt is held by Solidor Investments Limited (“Solidor” or “Debenture holder”). The terms of the

Secured Loan provide for an annual interest of 8.5% payable by the Company bi-annually. A primary

focus of our restructuring has been to rehabilitate our income statement in such a way as to reach a

level where the annual coupon obligations associated with this Debt are serviceable. Current revenues

and costs levels of the Group are in keeping with the obligations of servicing this Debt. As of July 31,

2012, the principal Debt amount plus accrued and unpaid interest amounted to $14,477,214. In May

2012, the Company reached an agreement with Solidor to reschedule the interests payments

Page 9: Coda Octopus Group, Inc. Quarterly Report May 1, 2012 – July 31, … · 2020. 4. 17. · Coda Octopus Group, Inc. Quarterly Report May 1, 2012 – July 31, 2012 Address: 4020 Kidron

(“Rescheduling Agreement”) provided for under the Secured Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the

Rescheduling Agreement the Company will pay $250,000 annually and the remaining $770,000 will

accrue and be payable at maturity in February 2015. If the Company fails to pay the amounts due

periodically, then the amounts will revert to $1,020,000. The Rescheduling Agreement also provides for

the Company and the Debenture holder to review the revised periodic payment annually to determine

whether its cash flow permits increase in this amount.

In addition, under the terms of the Rescheduling Agreement the Company agreed to issue to the

Debenture holder 15,315,316 shares of common stock in settlement of $1,020,000 representing interest

payment obligations outstanding as of May 2012.

The Debenture holder forgave all defaults including default interests that had been incurred at the date

of the Rescheduling Agreement.

With this level of debt, the failure to maintain our SG&A costs at around $6 million per annum and

achieve revenues in excess of $16 million per annum would threaten our ability to sustain our

profitability going forward.

Results from Operations For the first time the Company has recorded a working capital surplus. As of July 31, 2012, the Working Capital Surplus of the Company was $3,169,451. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2012 to the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2011 Revenues for the Nine Months ended July 31, 2012 compared to the Nine Months ended July 31, 2011

Percentage Change Revenues for the Nine Months

$15,493,494 Increase of 50.3% (“Increase”) $10,306,248

*) Unaudited

We believe that the Increase in revenues shown above is due to a number of factors including:

We are generally seeing an uptake in demand for our patented real time 3D sonar product, the Echoscope® and the Underwater Inspection System (UIS™) in the market place;

We have launched various upgrade products which have contributed to our revenues;

Following the restructuring which commenced in 2009 and the reduction in our SG&A expenditure, there is more cash available to convert our order book to revenues (resulting in shorter delivery times), and to seek more beneficial terms from our suppliers.

54.3%

(gross profit of $8,448,717)

52.3%

(gross profit of $5,392,614)

*) Unaudited

Gross Margins have been increasing consistently over the period from 46.6% in the first quarter to

63.1% over the three months reporting period. Some of this fluctuation is due to the mix of business

reported on in each quarter. For example, our engineering businesses, Coda Octopus Colmek and Coda

Octopus Martech, operate on slightly lower margins than the Coda Octopus Products business. In

addition, some of our products attract a higher margin than others. Our Gross Margins therefore vary

according to the mix of products and services sold within the reporting period.

As part of our continued restructuring and focus on corporate governance we are achieving better terms

with our suppliers through volume ordering and more orderly supply chain management. We expect

this to bring further benefits during the remaining quarter of Fiscal Year 2012 and into 2013 and beyond

in the Marine Products business, along with improved margins in the engineering businesses due to

reduced material costs. Nevertheless, it is not likely that the overall profit margin will increase further.

Going forward, we anticipate our annualized Gross Margins to be in the range 50%-60%.

*) Unaudited

The Reduction in our R&D spending is consistent with the reductions we have made during our

restructuring of the Group. The management would expect to see an increase in R&D spending in the

coming months reflecting further investments in product development. For example, we have recently

announced a new range of patented real-time 3D sonar products (“the Dimension™”) aimed at the

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) market, technology advancement and the continued investment in

our production capabilities.

*) Unaudited

The Reduction in SG&A reflects activity under the cost reduction plan that has been executed between

2009 and 2011. During fiscal year 2012 the Company has started to increase modestly some of its

expenditures, particularly in the areas of sales and marketing of our existing products. In addition, we

have increased marketing expenditures associated with launching new products such as the F170 Series

and DimensionTM, both of which were announced in April 2012 and our TAP rental offering which was

launched earlier this year.

*) Unaudited **) We expect to increase significantly our spending in both the categories of Legal and Professional Fees at the end of the year when we anticipate the resumption of the auditing of our consolidated financial statements and also in the category of marketing to reflect the costs of launching the new products announced in this fiscal year.

The management anticipates going forward that we will continue to prudently reinvest in some of these

areas, such as sales and marketing, as we did in the second Quarter where we took a major presence at

Oceanology International Exhibition (London) in March, and which will probably also involve selectively

Page 12: Coda Octopus Group, Inc. Quarterly Report May 1, 2012 – July 31, … · 2020. 4. 17. · Coda Octopus Group, Inc. Quarterly Report May 1, 2012 – July 31, 2012 Address: 4020 Kidron

11

increasing other areas of expenditure, such as travel costs. We would also anticipate our legal and

professional fees increasing as we become fully audited again, probably at the end of this Fiscal Year.

The current levels of expenditure are therefore likely to increase in the fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

Percentage Change Operating Income for the Nine

$3,951,214 Increase of 757% $461,075

*) Unaudited

This increase is attributable to the change in strategy for the Group including the restructuring of the

business under which SG&A was reduced over time, combined with an increase in sales of our real-time

3D sonar product, the Echoscope® and its derivative products such as the Underwater Inspection System

(UIS™).

During Q3 we rationalized some of our subsidiary companies in the USA, and as a result our Other

Income saw some benefit. We continue to anticipate that a large portion of the Other Income will be

non-recurring going forward. Our expectation is that Other Income will reduce to approximately

$150,000 or less per annum going forward

The reduction in Interest Expense is due to both a reduction in the requirement for short term

borrowing and an improvement in the rates at which the Company can borrow. In both periods we have

included amortization of the 30% redemption premium for our Debenture.

$3,497,756 Increase of 1,067% $299,787

*) Unaudited

So far this year we have also recorded a positive cash flow from operations of $2,557,920. This

significant increase is attributable to the change in strategy for the Group including the restructuring of

the business between 2009 and 2011 under which SG&A was reduced over time, and an increase in

sales of our real-time 3D sonar product, the Echoscope® and its derivative products such as the

Underwater Inspection System (UIS™).

It is the management’s belief that if the Company is to remain profitable going forward, we will need to

achieve revenues from our operations in excess of $16 million during the current fiscal year. We will

also need to maintain our SG&A expenditures at around the $6m level or less.

Inflation and Foreign Currency.

The Company maintains local currency as follows: US Dollars for the parent holding Company in the

United States of America and the US operations, Pounds Sterling for UK operations and Norwegian

Kroner for Norwegian operations.

The Company’s operations are split between the United States and United Kingdom through its wholly-

owned subsidiaries, with a significant proportion of revenues and costs incurred outside the USA. As a

result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly affect the Company’s sales, profitability

and financial position when the foreign currencies of its international operations are translated into U.S

Dollars for financial reporting. We are also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain

foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Although the Company cannot predict the

extent to which currency fluctuations may, or will, affect the Company’s business and financial position,

there is a risk that such fluctuations will have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales, profits and

financial position. As differing portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign currency,

movements could impact our margins, by example, decreasing our foreign revenues when the US Dollar

strengthens and not correspondingly decreasing our expenditures. The Company does not currently

hedge its currency exposure. In the future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign

exchange risks.

During the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2012, a summary of our material foreign currency transactions

include:

During the second quarter of the fiscal year 2012 Greenhouse Investments Limited, our then largest

beneficial stockholder, assigned all its rights in the $12m debentures to Solidor Investments Limited

(“Solidor”). Under the terms of the assignment, the beneficial interest in the shares of common stock in

Coda Octopus Group Inc. which were held by Greenhouse at the date of the assignment (23,576,986)

has also been transferred to Solidor. As a result of the transfer of the beneficial interest in the shares of

common stock to Solidor by Greenhouse Investments Limited and the recently issued shares of common

stock in lieu of the existing coupon obligation (15,315,316), at the date of this report, Solidor is currently

the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company’s common stock.

During the reporting period, the Company entered into a restructuring of the Debentures with Solidor

(“Restructuring Agreement”). Under the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, 75.5% of the annual

coupon of $1,020,000 has been postponed to maturity (2015) as long as the Company pays the

remaining $250,000 on or before 1 November in each calendar year (Revised Annual Coupon Payment).

The Revised Annual Coupon Payment is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s cash

performance annually.

In addition, the Company agreed with Solidor to settle $1,020,000 of existing indebtedness by the

Company through the issuance of 15,315,316 shares of our common stock.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. General The accompanying are unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As such they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the Nine Month period ended July 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated unaudited financial statements of October 31, 2011 and footnotes thereto. Business and Basis of Presentation Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (”we ”,“us” “our company ” or “Coda” ) was formed under the laws of the State of Florida in 1992 and re-domiciled to Delaware in 2004 following a reverse merger with The Panda Project. At the same time it changed its name to Coda Octopus Group, Inc. We are a developer of underwater technologies and equipment for imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications. We are based in Florida, with research and development, sales and manufacturing facilities located in the United Kingdom and Norway. We also have our marine engineering operations in the State of Utah, USA and United Kingdom. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements presented with these Notes. Accounts Receivable We periodically review our trade receivables in determining our allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil for the period ended July 31, 2012 and $nil for the year ended October 31, 2011. Despite making allowances for doubtful accounts in the past, we have not realized any actual bad debt expense during the period for which such allowances were made. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out method. Inventory is comprised of the following components at July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011:

July 31, 2012

Oct 31, 2011

Raw materials $ 868,515 $ 1,076,249 Work in progress $ 320,878 $ 178,096 Finished goods $ 477,035 $ 748,286 Total inventory $ 1,666,428 $ 2,002,631

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Net income (loss) per share Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of warrants and the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable in conversion of the warrants are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the adjustments in computing income available to common stockholders would result in a loss. Accordingly, the diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share. The following reconciliation of net income and share amounts used in the computation of earnings per share for the Nine Months ended July 31, 2012:

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2012

Net income used in computing basic net income per share

$ 3,497,756Impact of assumptions:

Costs on warrant liability marked to fair value $ 17,651

Net income in computing diluted net gain or loss per share:

$ 3,497,756

Per share basic and diluted net income amounted to $0.04 for the period ended July 31, 2012. Per share basic and diluted net income amounted to $0.01 for the period ended October 31, 2011. Liquidity As of July 31, 2012, we had: Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 3,480,865

Working Capital Surplus $ 3,169451

Deficiency in Stockholders’ Equity $ 6,953,843

Accumulated Deficit $ 54,691,902

Net Income for the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012 $ 3,497,756

Positive Cash Flow from our operations $ 2,557,920 The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from the sale of its products and services to generate cash to cover its operations. If the Company’s financial resources from operations are insufficient, the Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to repay its debt obligations, implement its current plans for reorganization, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. NOTE 2 - CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent accumulated project expenses and fees which have not been invoiced to customers as of the date of the balance sheet. These amounts are stated on the balance sheet as Unbilled Receivables of $1,010,569 and $705,391 as of July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 respectively. Our Deferred Revenue of $2,355,622 consists of (Billings in excess of costs and Revenues received as part of our warranty obligations). This is elaborated further below.

*These figures represent amounts held by third parties to secure certain of our obligations undertaken in the ordinary course of our business, such as rent deposits held as security for the performance of our obligations under these agreements and as is customary for these types of transactions and amounts held on various Customs Accounts as advance against VAT Deposit which is refundable when the goods are re-exported.

NOTE 4 - FIXED ASSETS Property and equipment at July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 is summarized as follows:

July 31, 2012 Oct 31, 2011

Machinery and equipment $ 1,226,993 $ 839,481 Accumulated depreciation $ (662,491 ) $ (702,055)

Net property and equipment assets $ 564,502 $ 137,426

Depreciation expense recorded in the statement of operations for the period ended July 31, 2012 was $98,283. This has resulted in a reduction of the accumulated depreciation of $39,564 which is a reflection of the disposal and replacement of some of the older items of Machinery and Equipment held by the Company. NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets are evaluated on an annual basis and when there is reason to believe that their values have been diminished or impaired write-downs will be included in results from operations. We have conducted a goodwill assessment and based on the methodology used by the Company we have concluded that goodwill was not impaired as at January 31, 2012 and therefore remains unchanged.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY The Company has assessed its outstanding equity-linked financial instruments and has concluded that, effective November 1, 2009, the value of our warrants will need to be recorded as a derivative liability due to the fact that the conversion price is subject to adjustment based on subsequent sales of securities. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on November 1, 2009 includes an increase in our derivative liability related to the fair value of the conversion feature of $2,353,893. Fair value at November 1, 2009 was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 1.06%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 302.22%; (4) an average expected life of the warrants of 2.22 years and (5) estimated fair value of common stock of $0.08 per share. At July 31, 2012 we recalculated the fair value of the conversion feature subject to derivative accounting and have determined that the fair value at July 31, 2012 is $19,194. The fair value of the conversion features was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.19%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 335%; (4) an average expected life of the conversion feature of 0.28 years and (5) estimated fair value of common stock of $0.06 per share. We have recorded a charge of $17,651 during the Nine Months ended July 31, 2012 related to the change in fair value during this period. Approximately ninety-eight (98) percent of our warrants issued in the last 5 years have now expired. As of July 31, 2012 there are 660,000 warrants in issue. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate U.S. unused net operating losses approximate $25,549,246 as of October 31, 2011, which expire through 2029, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is approximately $9,496,150, as of October 31, 2011. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate UK unused net operating losses approximate $3,202,189 with no expiration. The deferred tax asset related to the carry-forward is approximately $11,584,542. Components of deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 are as follows: Non-Current July 2012 October 2011

NOTE 11 - NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE A summary of notes payable at July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 is as follows:

July 31, 2012 Oct. 31, 2011

On February 21, 2008 the Company issued a convertible secured debenture with a face value of $12M (“Secured Debenture”). The Secured Debenture matures on February 21, 2015 at 130% of its face value. The Secured Debenture attracts interest of 8.5% payable every six months, starting from February 21, 2009. During the term the Secured Debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option of the Debenture holder, at a conversion price of $1.05. We may also force the conversion of these Notes into our common stock after two years in the event that we obtain a listing on a national exchange and our stock price closes on 40 consecutive trading days at or above $2.50 between the second and third anniversaries of this agreement; $2.90 between the third and fourth anniversaries of this agreement; and $3.50 after the fourth anniversary of this agreement or where the daily volume weighted average price of our stock as quoted on OTCBB or any other US National Exchange on which our securities are then listed has, for at least 40 consecutive trading days closed at the agreed price

$ 14,727,214

The Company, through its UK subsidiary Coda Octopus Products Ltd has a 7 year unsecured loan note for £100,000; interest rate of 12% annually; repayable at borrower’s instigation or convertible into common stock when the share price reaches $3.

(1) In May 2012, the Company and the existing Debenture holder, Solidor Investments Limited, reached an

agreement to reschedule the existing interest payments (“Rescheduling Agreement”) provided for under the

Secured Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the Rescheduling Agreement the annual interest payments

will remain the same but the Company will pay $250,000 annually and the remaining $770,000 will accrue

and be payable at maturity in February 2015. If the Company fails to pay the amounts due periodically,

(that is the $250,000 along with any agreed adjustments under the adjustments provisions) then the

amounts will revert to $1,020,000 annually. In the said Rescheduling Agreement existing defaults and

other default interests were forgiven by the Debenture holder. Additionally, the Company agreed with the

Debenture holder to issue 15,315,316 in lieu of $1,020,000 interest obligations that were outstanding at the

date of the Rescheduling Agreement. This has caused our indebtedness under the Debenture to be reduced

by $1,020,000 resulting in a positive impact on our cash flow statement and our balance sheet.
